pro6 may well be the best dm map made thus far. Tiled for awesome hook movement in ways that make sense for fighting.

But where´s the download links?

Music and butterfly means version 0.2.x or maybe even earlier. Sadly those things were removed from the menu.

Empty serverlist usually means either the firewall blocking them or the masterserver temporarely being down.

Since you use such an old version though, I think we can´t exclude the possibility that noone is hosting a server for your version.

I guesss my question is directed at the whole concept of owning ideas then. It only seems like a not so productive powerstructure to me. A powerstructure that does more harm than good, and thus should rather be fought than respected.

As far as the map is concerned, I am certain that some bad does come out of it, and I have already explained why. Creativity is hampered when one can´t act on inspiration, and the delay of having to ask can harm inspiration severely.

So I guess it is progress vs fuzzy feeling then.

Only, I (or, rather, anyone wanting to modify) get a fuzzy feeling if allowed to do this. So my way there would be both progress and fuzzy feeling, just distributed a little differently.

You misjudge me. I never said that I think my needs are more important than other people´s needs. I simply recognize that my needs are not any less important either.

If you want to call that egocentric, fine. But then you claim that dince I am egocentric I can´t genuinely care for the good of the community. That is just plain wrong. There is no contradiction between caring for oneself and caring for the community. Self-sacrifice is not the only path to helping the community, and I´d guess that it´s not the most effective one either.

I noticed that the jdm1 mapfile is rather big. Lost players on my server (dm map gallery) when it switched to this map and now I concluded that it must be due to download time .

Anyway, I decided to take a look on what could be the cause, and I found it. The main thing is that you have the sun and the mountains graphics embedded in the file. As of 0.4.0, that is no longer neccessary and those can be external.

I could fix the map up for you if you want. I wouldn´t change the design at all, cause it´s great as it is, I´d just do some simple technical stuff. Would you want me to?

Oh, and is that nametag important to you? It´s embedded graphics too, so removing it would reduce the filesize.

I love it!

Perfectly distanced platforms and really nicely placed weapons, armor and health.

Really nice for dm. Works for 1on1 too, lots of running, but since hooking is so easy on this map chasing isn´t really taxing to do - so it just becomes a fun high speed battle .

The download link is wierd, with the Firefox browser it just took me to a page displaying the text of the file, and most of it showed as ?:s. Worked well as a regular download link in IE though.

edit: You should apply it for TQ (in the top of the community news forum).

I spent hours of dedicated work on my improving too. What is it that makes the original author´s work deserve more respect than mine?

Waiting for 2 days may not be the end of the world, but it would pretty much kill this little project in it´s womb. I did this on inspiration, if I had waited two days the inspiration would have worn off.

Yea, seems like a very nice license.

I still don´t understand exactly how this would be disrespectful.

I would rather say that not letting me do this would be disrespectful to me. I´ve tried to "make my own maps", and I will eventually, but I kinda lack basic ideas and inspiration. Now, when I tried this map, I saw things that could be clearly better and I was inspired to make it happen.

Now if I had asked, gotten a no and respected that, I would be missing out on my first opportunity in a long time to practice this art. Heck, even if I had gotten a yes the waiting for a reply would stop me from starting right away. Where I could have taken another step, I would be forced to stand still, and I would certainly feel badly about it.

What is so important that it is worth that sacrifice?

Sounds nice. Just one problem, how does one find the right clan to join?

Hmm, I´d like it better if people had their original colors than red and blue, Teeworlds looks nicer that way. In ctf it makes sense, since it´s important to see who´s on what team, but in tag it´s really only the chased one that need to stand out.

Believe it or not, tag variants have been suggested before. The simplest one to visualise would probably be that you tag with a hammer punch. Then all tees chasing could have hammers up (unable to switch), while the chased could be completely without weapons. That should be enough to see the difference.

If you wanna go with the kiss idea though, one neat way to do it would be to add a big lipstick-red kissmouth to the graphics of all chasing tees .

A slightly less creative (but probably easier) way to make the chased one stand out would be to have him/her switch to the ninja skin.

Sounds interesting except that arenafights should really not be random. As little as possible in Teeworlds should be random, that´s part of the philosophy.

Could pherhaps base it on some kind of threshold? When more than half of one team is captured and that team captures someone that could trigger an arenafight for instance. That way a team low on manpower could get members back by killing off attacking enemies (since that would trigger arenafights), giving them a chance to get back in the race.

I did not. Now pherhaps you can explain what´s so bad about that?
